Welcome Home Jon!
[via Jeff] Jon Udell is joining our team at Microsoft. I’m surprised that none of the people I told about this leaked it before now 
It’s a shame that he felt the need to defend against appearances of “selling out”. Let’s hope that’s the last time he feels that way. Anyone who’s followed him over the years knows that he’s not going to compromise his integrity. Jon is thoughtful, deep, and non-partisan. Why pick sides when you’re in a position to think things through and decide for yourself?
He’s a uniter, not a divider. His role will be fairly different in details that Scoble’s was, but the general pattern for Jeff’s team is that they are bridge builders.
